Download Classic Books to Your NOOK for Free!

I have written many blogs that point out where to find free eBooks for your Kindle. Did you know that there are free eBooks for NOOK, too? These are completely legal to download, and come from the Barnes & Noble website. Barnes & Noble is the company that sells the NOOK eReader. I thought it would be nice to start out with some books that are Classics. These are the books that you probably were assigned to read while you were in school.

Homeschooling and the Work-at-Home Mom, Part Two

The other day, I spoke about working from home and homeschooling, and shared my thoughts on the concept of balance. Today I’d like to talk about involving our children in our home businesses. Our goal as parents is to give our children a solid foundation of principles and skills so they can go into the world as caring, responsible people and be able to create a good life for themselves. You can take your home business and use it as a teaching tool for your children, a way to help prepare them in these areas. 1. As you work your … Continue reading →

Livemocha: Social Networking Meets Language Learning

Posted on by

Lately I’ve been looking for an online language-learning tool. They are quite easy to find, even the free ones. The quality varies a lot, but the internet seems to be populated with free online language learning. I’m trying to brush up on my Spanish, and that’s quite easy to find. If you’re looking for a less-common language, you may have a more challenging time, but classes like Mandarin, French and Spanish are fairly simple to arrange, and free.

Swine Flu: Two Week Rebound?

In the last few days, two of my friends who’ve had swine flu have been talking about a “swine flu rebound”. To make a long story short, it seems that a good number of people who have had swine flu experience a reappearance of symptoms a couple of weeks after they thought they were better. One friend thought it might be linked to folks over-exerting themselves. I can understand that — when I’m sick, I suddenly get the urge to go out and do things and be social… specifically because I know I can’t or shouldn’t be doing those things. … Continue reading →

Dogs and Cats Who Blog

Do your pets keep a blog? Do they tweet? Do they have a Myspace page? Do they chat with other ani-pals on Facebook (or Dogbook or Catbook)? Writing for your pets can actually be a great creative exercise and imagination outlet. Think about it: you’re writing in a voice that is not your own, imagining what a pet’s daily life is like, and even interacting with other imagined animal personalities.
